New bedding advice

[coralnixon]

Hey, I was just looking for some advice with bedding. I have two boars, I have always used wood chippings and newspaper as their bedding but they are over 12 months old now and as they are getting bigger I am noticing the smell of their urine a lot more. We are buying them a new cage soon and I was thinking of swapping their bedding over to possibly fleece? I was just looking for some advice on where to start with it really? What do I need to buy etc? Thank you!

A lot will also depend on what type of cage, what washing facilities you have, and where the cage is located (inside, outside, shed, etc).
If you give us a bit more information we can offer more advice specific to your set up.

Thank you for replying!
I was thinking of getting the Ferplast indoor cottage. They are always kept indoors. How often do you tend to wash the fleece?
Thanks

Actually, sorry, I have just looked further into things and the measurements for that might be too small. We currently have a two tier cage, do you think they would be better off in one of the cc cages? Do you know how they would transfer over to the new environment with it being completely different? One of our piggies is quite timid?

Thank you
